CMJ (1/5/04, p.12) - Ranked #9 in CMJ's "Top 20 Most-Played Albums of 1983".

Title Note

This digitally remastered U.K. import version contains bonus backing tracks from the original singles released to promote the album upon its maiden release in 1982.

In the early-'80s, the new wave movement was disintegrating into a million fragments, as those who embraced guitars and those who embraced synthesizers drew lines in the sand and began to vehemently territorialize. An adjunct arm of the synth-pop scene (see Gary Numan, OMD, The Human League) grew from out of the new wave, and, armed to the teeth with the Germanic sequencers of the '70s and state-of-the-art synthesizers, these groups became part of what was known as the New Romantics. Some grew large (Duran Duran, ABC), others receded into the cut-out bins--Ultravox grabbed the brass ring for a short while, courtesy of their brilliant VIENNA album. QUARTET followed two releases later, produced by former Beatles director George Martin, featuring a fairly stripped-down, but still illustrious Ultravox.

The opening "Reap the Wild Wind," with its gigantic drumbeats, soaring strings, and windswept synths remains a high point for the band, and remains the album's finest moment. Ultravox were in something of a disarray at the time of QUARTET's release, but their glorious sound--the sort of stuff the Romans might have danced to had they installed sub-woofers in the Coliseum--remained fresh and invigorating.
